Hi, The Kuna are the tribe who live in the islands on the east coast of
Panama and who make the beautiful appliqued molas. They participate in a
number of international indigenous sustainability projects, and are
especially interested in ways of protecting the ecosystem that maintains
their traditional way of life. I think you also may be able to find
something under "nabguana," their word for mother earth--actually, I just
found this (on yahoo)-- something to get you started anyway:
NATIVE-L (March 1993): Association Nabguana
Association Nabguana. ... Association NABGUANA The Association of Kunas
United for Mother Earth, founded on January 4, 1991. ... http://nativenet.uthscsa.edu/archive/nl/9303/0019.html
Good luck!
